Because they change, and are not constant.

No closed orbit is a perfect circle. They're ellipses, with the 'central body' off center, at least slightly.

So the distance between the two bodies changes at different parts of the orbital period.

How can I Calculate average velocity without time?

Will you settle for average speed ?The general method for solving any problem is to use what you do know in orderto find the answer. Generally, you never use something you don't know, right ?Well, you told us what you don't have, but neglected to mention what you do have.If you know starting and ending speed, then average speed = 1/2 (starting speed + ending speed).If you know distance and acceleration, then time = sqrt( 2 x distance / acceleration).Then you have time and distance, and you can find average speed.
